If you want to learn to hunt coyotes I suggest a couple of good books or something like TT's video "So you want to be a coyote Hunter", go on a hunt with a guide or mentor.
There is a lot to learn here but you have to ask the right questions or understand what others are asking.
I find this site more of a place to sort out a problem, not a place to learn from scratch.
I personally find books to be a great place to learn as you can reference them any time.
Reading list. I like Spomer, Simonski, Bodicker (sp?)

I am going to agree with AWS here.
You can learn quite a bit from reading and watching videos. But in the end, it all comes down to what you are learning from your own stands. You can watch guys like Big Al Morris shoot coyotes all day long and you will learn that he knows what he is doing.
I also got a lot from talking with these great hunters on PM. But if you are asking them to teach you what you need to know, that isn't going to happen from a few posts. They can't see you hunt, and the info that they get is limited to what you tell us. Someone also doesn't learn by asking then arguing. If you know enough to argue, then you should be good enough to hang fur. Take what they say, and give it a try. If it works, incorporate it into your hunts. If it doesn't work for you, then put it in the bin with all the other gear that doesn't work and move on.
